Volcano Event - Blox Fruits - Complete Guide

The Volcano Event is an event from Prehistoric Island, introduced with Update 24: a team-based defense mini-game where you protect a relic from Lava Golems while preventing the volcano's pressure from rising, with five minutes on the clock and Dinosaur Bones to collect.

How to get it

Touch the fossil placed in front of the large T-Rex skull on Prehistoric Island (not to be confused with the Ancient Relic): the event starts immediately.

How It Works

Two objectives happen simultaneously during the five minutes:

The Volcano Event, with its two simultaneous objectives over 5 minutes.

The volcano's pressure: orange-effect cracks appear on the volcano. Strike them with Destructible Physics attacks to seal them and prevent the pressure from rising. Warning, climbing too high on the volcano is fatal.

A volcano crack to seal with a Destructible Physics attack.

The relic: Lava Golems attempt to destroy it, it's up to you to prevent them from reaching it.

These two threats occur simultaneously: the ideal approach is therefore to split your team into two groups, one handling the pressure, the other protecting the relic.

When the timer reaches zero, bones appear in the lava and on the ground near the relic: collect as many as possible as quickly as possible, they serve as crafting materials. A black door is also found in a cave, but it requires the Draco race to open.

How to Break Pressure Points

Stat points have no importance here: you simply need a move that destroys the environment.
The Skull Guitar is the number one recommendation, its [M1] having Destructible Physics.
The Bazooka and Cannon also have Destructible Physics on their [M1], but their cooldown is slower than the Skull Guitar's: it remains preferable.
Solo, Buddha's awakened [C] is very effective, covering most of the volcano's front face.
Creation can create walls to prevent Lava Golems from reaching the relic.

Playing the Event Solo

Prioritize the Lava Golems first: they hit very hard with Magma's [Z] Magma Shower and have a lot of health, so they quickly become unmanageable if you let them live.

A Lava Golem, the priority target during the event.

Exception: with a very good fruit like Gas or Dragon, you can reverse the order and handle the pressure points first.
Use Instinct with the Pale Scarf: that prevents you from being caught off-guard by a Lava Golem you can't see while you're breaking the cracks.

Group Farming Strategies for Bones

The event gives 5 Dinosaur Bones per player present on the island, hence the benefit of bringing many players.

Spawn Prehistoric Island with a single boat, piloted by someone who has the Volcanic Magnet and, if possible, the Portal fruit: it makes Terrorsharks and all Sea Danger Level 6 Sea Events disappear, allowing you to trigger them again.
As soon as the island appears, bring as many people as possible, ideally on a fully transformed Dragon plus two or three teammates.
Complete the Volcano Event and collect your bones.

Variant: fly over all Sea Events with the Sentinel boat in a small group (4 to 8 players recommended), each with a Volcanic Magnet in their inventory, then clear the event when the island appears.

In any case, a group of at least two players is recommended.
